Kiwengwa Pongwe Forest, Unguja North Region hotel rooms at the Independent

"We chose Zuri for the second week of our honeymoon, as we wanted some luxury after a busy week on safari in Kenya and we were not dissappointed! This is truly one of the best hotels we have stayed at, from the beautiful rooms (we stayed in a standard bungalow), to the absolutely exceptional standard of food across all of fhe restaurant options at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The buffet breakfast is without doubt the best buffet breakfast we have experienced, a vast range of choices which change slightly day to day. We generally chose to eat a light lunch either on the beach or by the pool each day, the standard of which was also excellent. We ate at both the buffet dinner and also at the A L Carte, both of which were fantastic. We also chose to book the "Romantic dinner" on the beach for our last night which was also a wonderful private dining experience. We also booked a couples massage at the spa which was very enjoyable. The hotel offers 2 daily wellness sessions included with all boards basis, we took part in the yoga sessions which was a lovely way to start the day, as well as making use of the gym. We also went on the "spice tour", a tour of the Zuri spice garden, which was very interesting. Both the private beach and pool area were absolutely beautiful, with more than enough sun beds for the guests. Finally, the level of service from every single member if staff was exceptional, everyone was extremely attentive and very friendly. We would definitely book again!"

"Incredible scenery, incredible staff & incredible food. Had an unbelievable honeymoon here. "

"cute hotel"

"This is my second time staying at Meliá, and it won’t be my last. It’s not only because the hotel and grounds are beautiful. It’s the staff, they are exceptional, they’re the most friendly, smiley, professional and provide amazing service. Every room is cleaned twice a day and I’ve left valuables lying around and everything has always been safe. My only complaint this time was that there was no working light in the shower but other than that everything was 10/10."

" I had an unforgettable honeymoon at Mora Resort Zanzibar. The room was comfortable and beautifully maintained, providing a perfect retreat. The beach was pristine with clean white sand, and the clear sea water made for stunning views and relaxing swims. The customer service was absolutely top-notch—friendly, attentive, and always eager to help. The dining options across all the restaurants were fantastic, offering delicious food with a variety of choices. But what I loved most were the breathtaking views of the beach that made every moment even more special. Overall, it was a truly memorable experience, and I highly recommend Mora Resort Zanzibar for a romantic getaway. "
